Where do you dump used transmission fluid in the USA?

I found this newsgroup but it seems to be only spam but I'll ask anyway.
My trash company on Monday wrote "motor oil only" on my half-dozen milk
jugs with red transmission fluid in them.
Where do you dump used transmission fluid in the USA?

I buy the atf at O'Reillys.
I called them up.
They said they take up to five gallons if they sold it.
No cross contamination is allowed they say.
So it can't be atf in a motor oil container they say.
I have to sign something before they'll take it they say.
I almost couldn't find this thread in all the spam.
Thanks!

They want to see a receipt that he bought atf. They might not insist on
it.
Apple wanted a copy of the owner's drivers license and a power of
attorney before they would unlock an ipad the the owner's late brother
had locked. After I got all that stuff, he didn't ask for it, didn't
look at it.
Walmart seemed to say they wanted the bar code number to pick somethiung
up but they only looked at my name on my driver's license.

I noticed a sign at Firestone in Maryland that the law requires t hem to
take it.
There is also a county site, where I think it is recycled. They have
places for kerosene and antifreeze at the county site also.
What state do you live in?

Yes, the spam is disgusting. Bufor is a pig.
There were always a few OT discussions among regular posters, but he's
still a pig.

Many chain auto parts stores accept it for recycling . Or you could
use it in a waste oil burner to melt aluminum and brass to cast into
useful and decorative items . I wouldn't recommend it for a forge though
, don't know what is in there that might contaminate your metal .

The local garbage company specifies clear containers for pickup. I took
mine (oil) to the HazMat Days last month and they didn't bitch about a
gallon Rotella jug. They did hand a guy's brake fluid back to him though.
The oil drop off was separate from the rest of the operation.
Unfortunately I got in the wrong line that I couldn't get out of and
spent about 20 minutes fuming. The workers were unloading items piece by
piece and carefully reading labels to see exactly what sort of hazardous
substance it might be.
Screw that. There's a transmission shop in town that burns used oil in
their shop heater. I'll bring it to them next time.
